Directions1. Heat a bit of olive oil in a pan and saute the pieces of bread until they turn slightly golden. You can completely ignore this step and add the bread without sauteing it first, but the bread then would turn super soggy in the salad...and who wants that?2. Combine tomatoes, basil, mozzarella and sauteed bread. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.3. Serve immediately!

I love panzanella! I only ever made this myself once and then it went rather wrong. The recipe called for just regular bread, so no toasting or anything and as you said... it turned soggy... bleh... Yours looks and sounds fabulous though. Really have to remake it!

i love this kind of recipe, something easy, classy, and very tasty indeed. you're one of the few "foodie" people who can really offer those kinds of recipes without making the amateur chef intimidated by the whole process. :-D
